Kessei Áþamé Mitēuřamae Anykylin Imar (Classical Āirumāli: /kɛs.sɛ.i ɑ˥.θɑ.mɛ˥ mi.tɛː˥˩.u.ʀɑ.mɑ.ɛ ɑ.ny.ky.lin i.mɑr/), also known as Lady Kessei Ašura, Princess of Shireroth and reigning as Kaiseress or Kaiserin Semisa II in 1608, is a Safirian and former Shirerithian noblewoman and royal, born in 1308. In her native Firnerámnen, she also holds the title of Lesser Queen of Umaron. Her short reign as kaiseress was widely unpopular. She was seen as imposing an alien way of thinking on the Shirerithian constitution, and as having a violent anti-Jingdaoese bias which often put her in conflict with Kildare. In the end, she was forced to abdicate. She chose her confidant, the rather anonymous Spencer Jackson, brother of the then-anarch of Yardistan, Carl Jackson, to succeed her.
Starting in the 1630s, her reputation in Shireroth had been restored, as her prophecies and warnings concerning the Jingdaoese had came true.
In 1663, she returned to public service when Kaiser Ayreon IV appointed her regent for the duration of his monastic seclusion in Athlon. During her regency, she organized and spearheaded the Safirian Exodus, by which almost all Safir, including her, in Shireroth renounced their citizen-/denizenship and returned to the Safir Alliance. As such she lost her Shirerithian titles (Princess of Shireroth), but was awarded the title of Baroness Kessei out of the Kaiser's gratitude for her services to the Imperial Republic so that she could remain a noble, but a non-citizen of Shireroth, according to her own conscience.
After a few decades back home in Firnerámnen, she felt the urge of returning to Micras in the 1690s. In 1693, she was given the lordship of Hüter des Lichts in Whales.
